Cascade of cancelled 3DS games

[Deleted member 94204]

Goddamnit if my 3DS ends up becoming a Virtual Boy Portable I'll be so pissed.

Seems like nintendo really blew the launch, they catered to the 3rd parties by having crappy 1st party launch titles, which resulted in terrible sales, and in the end resulted in 3rd parties canceling games and still hurting. Would it really have hurt to launch with a Mario kart?

I'm waiting for the better games... I mean, I've seen the zelda port thingy and the 3D looked awesome.

You're not the only one

Crush3D was only pushed back to early 2012, it has an official release date of February 21, 2012 now and i think shinobi got pushed back also. Anyway half the list is hudson titles that have been cancelled due to konami taking over hudson. I wouldn't really call it a cascade of cancelled 3ds games but it is alot of titles getting canceled on the 3ds, i assume it takes a lot of work to produce a 3D game.

This is also false. Crush3d is scheduled for release on November 15 2011.

I dont think that the 3DS is such a difficult hardware to program games on... I just think that sales in japan are under their expectations because of the hard times they live, after the earthquake.

I cross my fingers for not having bought a console which is going to end up as the dreamcast :-(

Third parties:
Screw the 3DS, We have money!

Me:
Screw the 3DS, I have no money!

I think they got scare of their game not selling, so they trying to hit near Christmas. Right?

I think that Game Developer (THQ example) think that the 3DS isn't populair enough, most people still think that this is just like the DSi, it's a DS but with some more features. Maybe the programming for 3D is maybe harder then they thought?

BTW: I was waiting for SR: Drive By, too bad it is canceled

if there was a flash cart there would be way more console sales
which would make the 3ds look better to program for

Personally they should have released the 3DS later, most of the games weren't completed until now, I wouldn't want them to release rushed first party games, so having them later is good at least there'd be good work put into it.

I wouldn't write the 3DS off, it's only been 4 months and with the first party arriving things will soon kick off.

I blame piracy.

...which is non-existant on the 3DS. Congratulations, you just earned yourself a medal.

i was being sarcastic and taking a shot at all those people here that think piracy is to blame for every bad thing with video games

Note taken, I agree with your stance then. Piracy is bad. Terrible development cycles and releasing a console before its firmware contains all the functions it was supposed to, leading to updates every month which occasionally cause games released before said updates to glitch into oblivion (Ridge Racer) is also very naughty, but not as bad as piracy.

The 3DS is in pretty poor shape right now. A poorly handled launch, a slow trickle of games, developers making stupid decisions (like the Mercenaries save file issue), games being cancelled, the E-Store being a big let-down, it's not looking good. It's a shame. It's a great system with a lot of potential. I hope things pick up soon 'cause right now I'm only looking forward to StarFox, and even then it's a port of a game I already own so it's not top priority.

 

[Foxi4]

How is it that great in your opinion? It's barely a step up from the PSP in terms of hardware, its saving grace is the 3D display. Need I remind you how old the PSP is?

And here I thought they wanted people to take the 3DS seriously. ಠ_ಠ

 

[glysegui]

I have DoA and OoT 3D and I'm happy with those. Only game I really see myself buying in the future is Resident Evil.
